The time it was a monthly recap {32}

I can’t believe we’re already in April. I know I say this every recap, but it always seems like I just did last month’s recap. Maybe it’s the procrastinator in me because these posts take forever to draft.

I sort of got in a slump in March. I just couldn’t bring myself to actually sit down and read anything. So even though that number is on the smaller side for me, I’m pretty pleased with it.

The lovely Brighton Walsh sent me a package including a signed copy of her new book, Second Chance Charmer, plus a gorgeous silver bangle

I bought myself the paperback of The Raven King {hilariously not pictured here} just to get the Opal tarot card

Stephanie Garber spoiled me with the UK paperback of Caraval

Berkley sent me The Kiss Quotient

Bloomsbury sent me The Brink of Darkness

The Novl sent me Defy the Stars and Defy the Worlds

Getting all of these books made me scream

Macmillan sent me Blanca & Roja by Anna-Marie McLemore. And I have a couple of other things that I got in the mail but apparently I haven’t taken photos of them. So I’ll include them in next month’s recap.

I had a press pass for WonderCon and went just to see Victoria Schwab. I had posted this photo on the morning of going up there and in my caption I said that I needed to decide which copy to bring. Victoria commented that I should bring all of them.

We got to the signing area about 20 minutes before hand and the floor manager so nicely showed us where the the line was, so we got in line and waited.

When I got to Victoria, she said, “How is my Lila” and I died.

We chatted for a few minutes about foreign copies, her upcoming events, the release of Vicious, and maybe a couple of other things.

Someone on Instagram let me know that a YouTuber had featured my photo on a segment that he had where he tries to recreate photos that he likes.

He said my photo was gorgeous and talked about the actual placement and wondered where I would get a Gemina bookmark

Then he did a side by side comparison of my photo to his recreation

I didn’t make a note of his user name. I guess I thought I would remember? Anyhoo, if I find it, I’ll update this.

Eee, your recaps are always the best Stacee :D Thank you for sharing about all that you did in March. <3 Hugs. And ahh, you still read so many more books than I did :D But hah, I read and loved Obsidio too ;) So yay for that. <3 And eee, YAY for getting so much gorgeous mail :D It all looks awesome. I hope you are doing the very best sweetie. <3 Hugs. Also, gosh, time is moving way too fast. Like April.. I have been a bit behind on commenting, and it's already been 20 days. What. How rude, haha :)
